Preparing to Sell Your Home?

When you’ve decided to sell your house, it goes without saying that you want potential buyers to see all the great aspects of your home. To get the best price, your home improvement priorities might weigh heavily on that factor. It can be challenging to know which changes may affect the value of your home and how long it will stay on the market. However, a lot goes into the process of creating an appealing home. Putting your house on the market can be a stressful process, but don’t worry, CertaPro Painters® of Austin, TX has tips for you to make your house reach its fullest potential before it’s on the market.

Two of the biggest upgrades that can make or break how much your house can value are: Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations.

Kitchen Update

Refinishing and repainting cabinets – this can typically be done for less than 50% of the cost of removing old cabinets and installing new cabinets, and it’s also environment-friendly! There are a few popular shades for Kitchen cabinets, but we always suggest a neutral color, so the prospective homeowners can get a better feel for the appearance of the kitchen.  Also, check out more details on our cabinet painting process.

 

Repaint kitchen islands – while there is a noticeable trend to have the island be an accent with a shade of blue or another attractive color, we suggest keeping it simple for your budget and to attract as many people as possible to your home. The buyers can always spend the money to add a personalized accent to the island if they so choose.

Bathroom Update

Bathrooms are often a make-or-break component of a new home for potential buyers. It’s important to give the bathroom an update by replacing or repainting pieces that are showing signs of wear. Consider these projects:

Remove Wallpaper

Wallpaper tends to crack and peel over time, especially in the bathroom. In addition, all the continual moisture has likely led to some discoloration and potential mildew. Before putting your home on the market, consider replacing your current wallpaper.

The vanity is the centerpiece of the bathroom, and so you want it to look as clean and accessible as possible. This vanity was recently repainted by CertaPro Painters of Austin.

Finally, the tiles on your bathroom floor and walls have the potential to make your bathroom shine - but they can also make your bathroom appear dirty if not given an occasional refresh.
